Helpful hints

  • If you like pulled pork a little crispy, you can spread pork on a cooking tray and cook at 400° F degrees for 15 to 20 minutes or until desired crispness.
  • Leftover pulled pork is a great option for pork sandwiches, tacos or enchiladas. You may also top with arugula if desired.
  • Adjust portion if you follow a lower protein diet.
  • Cuts of meat vary in fat content and cooking yield. The above is estimated based on testing of the recipe.
  • Be sure to read the instructions for your pressure cooker. Reading all safety recommendations.
